Strengthening your bones and joints will help decrease your risk of osteoporosis and overuse injuries from doing cardiovascular exercise that consists of repetitive motions. For every 10 pounds of weight you lose through dieting and cardiovascular exercise, three pounds of that total is muscle. Chapters claim that starches, not fat, are what fuel heart disease; warn against the health risks of a vegetarian lifestyle (vitamin B12 deficiency is a problem that can only be remedied with supplements, and other important nutrients are much less likely to be consumed in a vegetarian lifestyle); and recommend interval-exercise and weight training for improved heart health rather than long-duration cardiovascular exercise. |
